ISO Minisoftmusik Extractor
Does anyone have a copy of Minisoftmusik Extractor additive VST? I have looked all over the net and have found only one purported copy on a Russian site, but it appears to be a DOS exe that I have yet to figure how to open. (It was a UPX but that only released a larger exe that defies analysis.) Min...

Re: "Lucky Star" Bass-line
I opened this topic expecting, surprisingly, some discussion of Motteke! Sailor Fuku! Why am I surprised that the result was actually more mundane? And, no, there is not a single iota of anything about Madonna that interests me in the least.

Re: Analog sampler?
Back to laser storage, I refer to a Wired article: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2005/10/69033 Scientists at Australian National University in Canberra were able to fire a laser bearing a discreet signal (information) into a crystal where the light speed was slowed dramatically. The ...

Re: Analog sampler?
Of course, there would have to be amplification and reamplification, but with care signal degradation could be negligible.

Re: Analog sampler?
I like rhino's idea of an analog magnetic recording platter. It doesn't look as if anyone is manufacturing anything like that. The closest thing in modern parlance is a tape delay and even all those are simulated now. There has to be a way to suspend a signal discreetly within a circuit. Wait... Lig...

Re: Analog sampler?
You couldn't record onto hard disk, as I stated, because that instantly makes the sample digital. To be purely analog, the signal must remain analog along the entire signal path. Any recourse into digital storage would degrade the analog nature of the signal. See my addenda to the original post.

Analog sampler?
Has anyone ever made a true analog sampler? I was reading the recent posts under the Korg DSS-1 in which one user declared it to be analog and several others rightly explained it is hybrid at best. The DSS-1 stores samples (and modeled harmonics and hand-drawn wave forms) as PCM samples, which are d...

ISO RSDSXP2KB
Does anyone know if the Red Sound Dark Star XP2 Keyboard was ever produced, even as a mock-up? I just read about it in an old issue of Keyboard (April 2002) covering NAMM that year, when the XP2 debuted. I have an XP2 but I'm curious as to how the keyboard would have appeared. Red Sound Systems appe...

Re: Calling all Korgheads and Tritoneers! Question!!
Thanks for all the replies. Some very useful information here. I think I'm going to go for a Roland A80. It has 88 keys with polyphonic aftertouch, two MIDI in, one MIDI through, and four MIDI out. It's a bit newer than the Ensoniqs and probably a bit less prone to malfunction. It's a lot closer to ...

Calling all Korgheads and Tritoneers! Question!!
I have read through the Triton manual, and scoured the web, but still I am not dead certain whether or not the Triton has polyphonic aftertouch. I want a keyboard with poly aftertouch for my studio. The only contenders seem to be the new VAX77 MIDI keyboard (at $3,000? Pppvvvvfff! Yeah, right...), t...

Re: VSE - Good trader/seller thread
I just realized I forgot to put a mention in here of our fellow miscreant "cave" who came through in a pinch when he IM'd me that he had a Kawai K5000W available at a ripping decent price. Cosmetically it should be in the yard of Sanford & Son, but electronically, it is perfect. Thank you, cave, you...

Re: Poly-800 stuttering hiccup FIXED never mind thx
Yes, the X-Stations charge their own batteries, and there is even a system setting for it. You can choose no charging, medium charging only when on mains, low charging when on USB, or medium charging when on USB. One of the display pages also shows what voltage and current the batteries are providin...

Re: Poly-800 stuttering hiccup FIXED never mind thx
Thanks, cgren72, I will look into that. I just wish the Poly-800 would recharge its own cells as the X-Station does. I am sure now that the sound problem was due to lack of use and the memory structure decaying. Yes, going from RCA sockets to 1/8" sockets can be a hassle. I have adapters lying about...

Re: Poly-800 stuttering hiccup
Thanks for taking the time. I was writing about the RCA jacks on my USB audio/MIDI adapter. I have cables with RCA male on one end and 1/4" male on the other. Then, I just (fortunately) bought 1/4" female to 1/8" male mono adapters. Those went into a 2-to-1 1/8" adapter which went into the From tape...
